Lovin' Tenders hits the streets

Asheville's newest food truck, Lovin' Tenders, was parked outside the I&J Food Mart on Haywood Road across from Ingles earlier this week. Craig Hoge, a former restaurant owner, operates the truck, specializing in bratwurst and other meats with the telltale "wurst" suffix. Also on the menu are grilled or panko-fried chicken, pork or steak tenders and other "tasty, meaty treats." Hoge also serves something he calls "frushi," a dish in sushi format made with coconut sticky rice, mango, banana and strawberry.
